This insightful book explores the ‘as-if’ personality through the lens of Jungian analytical psychology, illuminating how the same forces
that can disturb personal development relationally, socially, and culturally are equally an impetus toward expressing and relating
with ones more complete self. Using understandable language to interweave various psychoanalytical and philosophical frameworks,
Imposter Syndrome and the ‘As-If’ Personality in Analytical Psychology: The Fragility of Self is both accessible to general readers and highly relevant to professional analysts, therapists, clinicians, and social workers.
